Using FreeNAS as a Time Machine Backup Server (no hack needed)
backup server
This is about setting up a free Backup Server for your Mac. You don’t need to use the Terminal to make Time Machine showing your Backup Volume. Note: This is an alpha-build. Don’t use it for main Backup as long as there is no final release. sourceforge.net www.freenas.org

@purple375 in theory, yes.
but it would be more work.
you’d need to share the backup location using AFP (as also seen in the video)
but to make it show up, you’d have to open the terminal and type (and run) this:
defaults write com.apple.systempreferences TMShowUnsupportedNetworkVolumes 1
(on one line) then it should show the network volume. - Comment Feed for this Post
thanx for the video … you are using a nightlybuild version of freenas software… this version has the option needed.
i am looking forward to see the final version 0.7 release.
Anyway, nice share !
